Headteacher, Peter Mayland said, “This year the education system is facing the first wave of significant changes to exams. Because of these changes, teachers and students have had to work incredibly hard and I am delighted that they have achieved excellent results across the school. Our students achieve on average half a grade higher than their peers and a quarter of our Year 11s leave with at least 3 A* or A grades. This is a school where everyone really does achieve together."
